STW Resources Announces Completion of Desalination Unit

for Horizon City, Texas

MIDLAND, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--STW Resources Holding Corp (OTCQB: STWS), an integrated

provider of water management, including water reclamation and remediation, and oilfield services,
announced today the completion of the previously announced contract for the custom design,
engineering and construction of the Horizon City Municipal Utility District Reverse Osmosis (RO)
Concentrator. STW Water, a wholly-owned subsidiary of STW Resources, was selected as the
manufacturer/technology integrator for the $2.2 million project and will maintain the system under a
contract with Horizon City.
The existing municipal reverse osmosis plant in Horizon City is 13 years old and could produce only
7 to 9 million gallons per day of processed water. According to the Texas Commission of
Environmental Quality (TCEQ), the facility discharged approximately 1 million gallons per day of
brine water unsuitable for human consumption which was directed to existing evaporation ponds.
Because these ponds didn't evaporate at the anticipated rate, there was a need for more pondsan
option that was not economically attractive due to land costs.
The solution from STW and its engineering partner, TRE & Associates, was to design and
manufacture the reverse osmosis concentrator to remedy the evaporation pond issue while
neutralizing potential environmental concerns. With the new system, approximately one-half of the
effluent (processed water) can now be utilized and the other half can be reclaimed back into the
distribution system.This effluent can be blended with permeate from the other reverse osmosis
systems into the final tanks. The concentrator itself is an economical alternative to land acquisition
and additional ponds for other municipalities.

STW Resources CEO Stanley Weiner added,"These two RO trains are recovering 700 gallons per
minute (gpm) of water previously wasted as non-recoverable water from the concentrated brine
stream of the existing reverse osmosis facility in Horizon City. The system is running at 99%
rejection rate and saving and providing the city up to an additional 1,000,000 gallons of fresh water
per day."
STW Water President Alan Murphy noted, "This is the second concentrator project in the state of
Texas that I designed to recover the maximum amount of fresh water from brackish water.
Completing this project continues to validate our technology and our project development expertise.
We look forward to continue to work with Horizon City and other cities that we are currently in
negotiations with throughout Texas and California."

wastewater markets throughout the State of Texas and the United States. Recently, STWs model of
water ownership has had a great deal of success and broken ground on the Ft. Stockton, Texas
project.
The Company consults and provides customized water analysis, reclamation and remediation
services to a variety of complex oil and gas produced and flowback water, brackish water, ocean
water desalination, industrial, and municipal applications throughout several geographic locations to
fill a tremendous need for fresh water in the areas they service. As an independent solutions
provider, STW utilizes proven technologies from various well-known manufacturers, including a Zero
Liquid Discharge (ZLD) technology that is economically feasible to use. These technologies are
available as fixed or mobile units with varying capabilities. STW's process ensures that the most
effective and efficient technologies are implemented. The ZLD system can process any saline laden
water with Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) levels ranging from 5,000 ppm to >300,000 ppm. Current
potential project locations include the Eagle Ford Shale (TX), the west Texas Delaware and Permian
Basins (TX), eastern New Mexico, and ocean desalination projects on the Gulf Coast of Texas,
California, and Hawaii.
STW, with its manufacturing partner Sunstone Water Group, also has the technology to reclaim
municipal wastewater to potable reuse standards. It is specifically referred to as: Municipal
Reclaimed NEW Water. STWs (Formerly Toilet-to-Tap) Reclaimed NEW Water systems for reclaimed
wastewater with its advanced pretreatment process combined with Hybrid high brackish high
recovery or Seawater Reverse Osmosis System is capable of purifying contaminated water with a
variety of complex water quality thereby preventing fouling attacks on membranes & allowing

reliable operation with significantly reduced operating expenses and decreased power consumption.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: If STWs Proprietary ZLD Technology is placed in-line with a Seawater
Reverse Osmosis System or used with a geothermal operation, there will be no brine concentrate
discharged into the environmentally sensitive local waterways since the system is Zero Liquid
Discharge and 95-98%+ of the fresh water is recovered in the process. The waste stream is salt
crystals and minerals. This is a completely Blue/Green operation that provides a sustainable supply
of power and water for municipal and industrial use.
STWs Pipeline division uses the latest technology to install new pipelines and repair, maintain and
restore oil & gas pipelines (STW Pipeline).
